Applying bioinformatic analysis for prognostic assessment of the <i>HS3ST6</i> missense mutations clinical significance in the development of hereditary angioedema by N. A. Pechnikova, Yu. V. Ostankova, M. A. Saitgalina, A. M. Bebyakov, A. R. Denisova, N. S. Podchernyaeva, A. A. Totolian

“…Currently, mutations in the HS3ST6 gene remain poorly understood; only one missense mutation (p.Thr144Ser, rs746467957) associated with the development of HAE has been described.The aim of our work was to study new mutations in the HS3ST6 gene and analyze in silico their prognostic nature and clinical significance for the development of hereditary angioedema.The material was whole blood samples obtained from 13 patients with symptoms of hereditary angioedema without reduced levels and function of C1-INH.Whole exome sequencing of patients, bioinformatic analysis of HS3ST6 gene mutations using a number of databases and Web resources to predict the effect of mutations on the protein and assess the conservatism of the positions of the mutations detected was involved in study methods.Mutations in the HS3ST6 gene were identified in four patients, including two cases with two mutations simultaneously. …”
